Winter Wonderland - Sylvania

This was so so sweet and Stella loved it and she LOVED the little train.  We went on Christmas Eve Day when Justin surprised me and drove back home after being half way to work already....he decided work could be 2nd to his girls that day (i was very happy as i know he is SUPER BUSY getting ready for his Florida auction).

 

Christmas Eve 2010

What a wonderful Christmas we all had...4 Rounds and still TWO MORE TO GO.  Crazy!  But family fun crazy!  We started out with our traditional Christmas Eve get together with the Lesniewicz side of the family where Stella enjoyed the company of her GREAT Grandpa Shorty, ALL his xmas toys & gadgets he's collected through the years,  and her Great Aunt Deb & Uncle Mike, mom, dad and amy.  Todd had to work unfortunately and cousin Kevin from Boston couldn't fly in until the next day - so they both missed out on the Polish dinner.

Santa 2010

 

So Stella this year was not so thrilled with Santa - last year, she didn't much mind him - so i had to sit with her first and then my sneaky plan was to get her used to him that way and then pass her off to him to sit on his lap alone for her annual Santa pic.  um, i don't think so is what she thought.  The crying santa pic was our warm up session when we went to Holiday Happenings in Sylvania mid-Dec.

Stella's Phenomenal Piano Technique!

Mama-razzi Monday!

Stella Jane Clark was spotted in Downtown Toledo at the Huntington Center on December 17, 2011 to catch Disney On Ice.  It was noted that she really really enjoyed the show and the session of Peek-A-Boo she played with the stage (crouching down behind the seat in front of her and popping up screaming and smiling!)  She attended with her mommy & daddy.  She sat with her two friends, Davis and Cayla.  By the time she pulled into her driveway she was out.  Of course she woke up once inside - had a bath and playtime before she went to bed at 11pm.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

PlayDate with Lydia

We met Lydia and her mommy Katy at the mall and the girls had some fun in the play area then we headed to the food court for lunch where Stella encountered one very tall standing cow.  Next, off to go balls crazy on candles and load up on a 50 lb. bag of them from Bath and Body Works that nearly killed the Bugaboo when i attempted to hang it from the Mommy Hook.   Below Stella with her friend Lydia.  Reminder - she is the cute little one that we met at the mall when our babes were just 3 months old.  They almost share the same bday, just 2 days apart.  Hope to see you girls again, at least one more time before we head off to FL!

 Stella:  "Hey. Hey you Lydia.  Look at me and forget the Mama-razzi over there - besides she's always around snapping pics like crazy, if you hang out with me more you'll get over it like i am.

 Stella:  "I can't wait till this is a real Jeep."

 Stella was going nuts over this slide

 Stella:  "Hmmmmm, I don't remember the cows in VT having on red coats.  Actually, just wait a minute here, is this SANTA!  Cuz if it is i'm gonna freak out right here, right now.  oh, oh, ok everything's cool.  It's just a cow pretending to be that terrible man with the big white beard - the one that made me cry. ok,  i'll need to let Lydia know it's just a cow, just a cow.  PHEW.
